“Had a wonderful meet and greet with Brandon for my pup. Brandon was great in communication and just a joy to meet. Very obvious he loves dogs and takes this work seriously, which makes me less nervous to welcome someone new into our fold for the care of my big man 🐶. Booked for a walk and really appreciated the notes and special care of my dog and home during intimate weather. 10/10 ⭐️”
“Maryann was absolutely wonderful! She went above and beyond while caring for our 3 dogs and cat while we were out of town. She spent extra time at our house, made sure everyone was fed, loved on, and played with, and even cleaned up accidents in the house without hesitation. It gave us such peace of mind knowing our pets were in such caring and capable hands. We would highly recommend Maryann and will definitely be booking with her again! ❤️🐾”
About: I offer a calm, structured, and attentive home where each dog is cared for with intention and consistency. Working from home full time, I’m able to provide continuous supervision, companionship, and a well balanced routine of play, rest, and enrichment. My home includes two well socialized dogs, creating a stable and positive environment. I’m experienced in oral medication, puppy care, potty training, and reinforcing essential commands such as sit, stay, recall, and leash manners. I’m happy to follow your dog’s established routine to ensure a seamless and stress free stay. Care is always tailored to the individual dog, whether they are high energy and playful or more reserved and prefer a calm, quiet setting. To ensure the best fit, I would like you to share details about your dog’s temperament, energy level, daily routine, and any behavioral tendencies prior to booking. This allows me to provide thoughtful, personalized care. Transportation (pick-up and drop-off) is available, with reduced rates for nearby locations. Complimentary drop-off is offered for returning clients. For the safety and balance of the home environment: 1. Dogs should be comfortable around other dogs 2. No severe separation anxiety 3. Potty trained preferred My goal is to provide a premium, reliable experience where your dog feels secure, respected, and genuinely at home ❤️ I work from home, so I’m with the dogs all day. Caring for them is part of my daily routine. Walks, playtime, feeding, and lots of snuggles. With two pups of my own, adding one more just means more love! I live in a townhouse with a fully fenced yard where dogs can safely play and relax. Inside, they’re truly part of the family, spending time with me and my two friendly dogs throughout the day. Dogs are welcome on the bed and couch during the day if they enjoy it. However, for safety, all dogs sleep separately at night. The entire first floor is fully pet proofed, and I spend most of my time there with them, so they’re never left alone or unsupervised. I follow each pup’s routine for meals, walks, medication, and rest to help them feel comfortable and at home. You’ll also receive regular photo updates!
“She is seriously the BEST!! So sweet and amazing with Buster, always on time, and was so flexible with going over whenever I needed her. It gave me so much peace of mind knowing Buster was in such good hands. I will 100% be booking with her again and couldn’t recommend her enough!! 🤍🐾”
“Lauren did a great job taking care of my two cats while I away. She was punctual, made sure the litter pan was clean and they got snuggles and playtime. Highly recommend hiring Lauren for your fur babies and I will definitely book her in the future.”
“Our experience was excellent from start to finish. Tamara was responsible, attentive, and kept us updated with messages and photos throughout our trip. Both dogs were clearly well cared for and relaxed when we returned. Great communication and genuine care - we’ll definitely be booking again!”
“Nouf took great care of my senior dog and cat. She gave me peace of mind while my boyfriend and I were away. My cat ran out the door (because she’s crazy!) and she was able to quickly catch her and bring her back inside safely. Reliable, responsible, responsive, and gave detailed updates + lots of pictures! I would recommend her if you are looking for someone who can handle your furbabies!”
“Emaan is a dependable sitter. I have used her for drop by visits and she is always on time and is very caring with my elderly and blind cockapoo. Emaan has been flexible with last minute changes I needed to make. I will call her again.”
“Emily was so kind and amazing with our cats! It was so reassuring knowing our cats were in such good hands while we were away. I can't recommend Emily highly enough and can't wait to have her care for my cats again.”
“I’m so grateful for the amazing care my dog received! She shared detailed updates and the sweetest photos every day, and it was clear my pup felt completely loved and comfortable. Coming home to such a happy dog says it all. I couldn’t have asked for a better sitter!”
“Here’s a stronger, warmer one: I truly cannot say enough good things. We were absolutely blown away by the level of care, love, and attention our sitter gave to our cat, Violet. It was so clear that she treated Violet like she was her own, and that meant the world to us. The updates were thoughtful, reassuring, and full of warmth — and the photos were honestly unbelievable. I was shocked by how beautiful they were; I would have paid for the pictures alone. She captured Violet’s personality so perfectly and gave us such peace of mind while we were away. We are so, so happy and grateful. This was an amazing experience from start to finish, and we would recommend her without hesitation.”
“Cecelia was so great with our cats! Both Bunny and Eggy warmed up to her quickly and she was so patient with them. We were able to enjoy our vacation knowing they were well taken care of and Cecelia gave us very thorough updates for each of her drop ins that made us feel reassured. We'll definitely be booking them again!”
About: I’ve had dogs, horses, and rodents, my whole life except a five year stint when I traveled. I have my own dog who’s three years old named Kevin. He’s the most spoiled boy! Kevin isn’t friendly with other dogs so I have plenty of experience walking dogs who need to avoid contact with other dogs. Please reach out with any questions! I look forward to meeting your furbabies and treating them like my own. I work during the day so I am available evenings and weekends. I have a slightly flexible schedule that allows me to be available early mornings. I will follow the pet owners guide to the letter. If you have a preferred walking path, I will take it. I always come equipped with poop bags, toys, and a first aid kit in case of emergencies. If I am caring for your pet in your home I will keep you updated with times, pictures, and a description of the care I provide.
About: I have been fortunate to have "furry children " (a.k.a. Dogs) in my home for the majority of my adult life.....and I always will.....words I live by? Gotta love dogs! Seasoned, mature and loving, I'm available for those in need of regularly scheduled care and new clients that love their furry "children" as much as I do! I'm an Empty-nester, have a flexible schedule, and work assignments from home. I have plenty of time to walk and care for your furry family members. Caring for dogs is part of my day. I always make sure that the pets in my care are feed, walked, played with, and left clean, comfortable and content after each visit.

Amy was fantastic! She spent a lot of time taking care of our elderly dog and cat, making sure they ate, had clean bowls and fresh water every visit. She was very sweet and gave them so much love and attention. They warmed up to her immediately. I would definitely recommend her, and will book her again!
Jannatul is absolutely wonderful with our furbabies. She has such a calm and caring demeanour, which really puts our minds at ease whenever we travel overseas. My husband and I are particularly anxious about leaving our cats behind, but knowing they’re in Jannatul’s care gives us so much peace of mind. This is our second time using her services, and we will definitely be using her again. We highly recommend Jannatul to anyone looking for someone trustworthy, caring, and gentle with their pets.

As always, Sabrila took exceptional care of Cookie while I was away for three weeks. Knowing Cookie was in such loving and capable hands gave me complete peace of mind. She made sure all of Cookie’s needs were met, especially considering her age, and treated her with so much patience, care, and affection. Thank you, Sabrila, for always going above and beyond. I truly appreciate everything you do for Cookie, and I couldn’t ask for a better caregiver. Highly recommended!
This was our first time having Jackie assist us with our two cats while we were out of town. We have nothing but great things to say! We appreciate her experience with cats, and the attention to detail in learning the patterns of our fur babies - from their diet to the toys they like to engage with. We highly recommend Jackie and hope to use her services again in the future!
Wow!!! Let me say, I've never been so pleased and impressed with a dog walker like I am with Lashawn. He takes such good care of my babies and when I come home, I legit have zero concerns. House clean, exactly the way I left it. Dogs fed and walked. Lots of photos which I personally appreciate. He is extremely reliable and trustworthy. I can really see that he loves what he does. Not letting this gem go! Thank you sir

Tamara and Frank were excellent dog sitters for our two golden doodles. We were away for a week and had them do house visits three times a day over Christmas Break. They were amazing with our dogs and never missed a visit despite being over the holiday. They provided so many updates and photos which really helped my anxiety. We will definitely be rebooking them for future trips!
This was my first time using the Rover app to find someone to help me with my new puppy. Aditi was highly reviewed and I must say she was incredible. Extremely response, showed up on time, communicated throughout the entire visit and was a pleasure to work with. I would recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable pet sitter.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Pet Sitting in South Riding on Rover is $24.42 per visit (as of September 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.
Rover makes budgeting the cost of Pet Sitting easy. As long as your dates and pet profiles are correct, the price you see before you book is the same price you pay for Pet Sitting. For more information on service fees, click here .
As of September 2026, there are 15,505 sitters on Rover offering Pet Sitting across South Riding. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
A pet sitter can provide focused care sessions, help your pet’s routine stay on track, or keep you updated on your pet’s mood and energy levels.
Whether you’re at the office for the day or traveling for a few nights, a pet sitter can offer potty breaks during a South Riding stroll, cleaning the litter box, or making sure your pet has on-time food or water refills. For daytime services like walking and drop-ins, you can also request sitters to send a report card with every visit.
Tip: You can discuss your specific arrangements with a pet sitter on Rover to what fits you, your pet, and your sitter’s needs. To find what their special skills are, look at the "Skills" and "Pet care experience" sections on their profile.
If you would like updates while you’re away, you can discuss with your sitter how many or how frequent you’d like those updates to be. The Rover app allows sitters to send photos, videos, and messages about your pet, including how many pee or poop breaks occurred. You can message your sitter at any time through the app and our support team is available 24/7 by email or chat if you have concerns.
The personalized, in-home nature of pet care through Rover can mean more individual attention for your pet.
Many pet parents provide a spare key or arrange a lockbox. You can also exchange keys during the Meet & Greet and show your walker how to use digital fobs or personalized codes. It helps to arrange access to your home, from spare keys to concierge introductions, before pet care begins.
If you live in an apartment or condo, don’t forget to discuss details like buzzer access, codes, or elevator etiquette. These details can help a pet sitter feel more comfortable going in and out of your building.
Every sitter on Rover is required to pass a background check before listing their services. This process confirms their identity and indicates they are not on the Department of Justice’s National Sex Offender Public Website or have any disqualifying offenses.
Beyond ID checks, you can review each sitter's star rating, read verified reviews from other pet parents, and see how many repeat clients they have. Every booking is backed by the Rover Guarantee, which includes up to $25,000 in eligible veterinary care. For more details, visit Rover's Trust & Safety page .
The Rover Guarantee is Rover’s commitment to your peace of mind every time you book. It includes 24/7 customer support, sitter access to advice from qualified veterinary professionals for diagnostic issues, and a reimbursement program for eligible veterinary care in the rare event something goes wrong.
All bookings are backed by the Rover Guarantee , which provides up to $25,000 in eligible veterinary care reimbursement.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in South Riding. On Rover:
- 89% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 95% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 94% can help with daily exercise
You can also find pet sitters on Rover who accept only one pet at a time, which is ideal for anxious puppies, kittens, or senior pets who move at a gentler pace. Some sitters will also list availability for 24/7 care, also known as constant care, in their profiles.
Use the search filters to narrow down sitters whose specific experience or environment meets your pet's needs. When reaching out to your sitter, outline your pet's care routine and use the Meet & Greet to walk your sitter through your expectations.
A Meet & Greet is a short introductory meeting between you, your pet, and a sitter. It can take place in person or virtually, although we recommend in-person so that your pet can get to know your sitter or the new environment. During the Meet & Greet, you will have a chance to walk through your pet's routine, medical needs, and unique quirks. Take the time to ask your sitter questions about their skills and expertise, and make sure the fit feels right for everyone. Most pet parents and sitters on Rover welcome Meet & Greets because the process can give confidence and peace of mind for service experiences, especially for longer stays or first-time bookings.
Sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy, which you can find on their profile under their calendar availability.
Cancelling before a booking begins and before the sitter's cutoff time qualifies you for a full refund. Same-day cancellations for walks, day care, and drop-ins follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for dog boarding and house sitting, you will receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for the remaining days when you cancel the same day a booking should begin.
If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means our support team works with you to find a replacement sitter.
